A son is born amid grief

19His daughter-in-law, the wife of Phinehas, was pregnant, about to give birth. When she heard the report that the ark of God had been taken, and that her father-in-law and her husband were dead, she bowed down and gave birth, because her labor pains came upon her.

20And about the time of her death, the women standing by her said, “Do not fear, for you have borne a son.” But she did not answer, nor did she take it to heart.
